But no part of the frame has exemption from liability, so far as I am aware. FIFTH LECTURE. 6j I will first quote a very simple case of Hysteria, the evi- dence of which is immediate, and the attack transient. In some slight forms the patient loses all command over the voice, which suddenly sinks to an almost inaudible whisper, without any other accompanying symptom. I have seen many examples, but that I give occurred under my own ob- servation, as it has probably in some form occurred under th...at of others, for it is as old as history. The subject was a young lady of about twenty, as Sir B. Brodie observes, of pale complexion, and having cold hands and feet. While I was engaged in conversation relative to her health, I some- what imprudently remarked that a mouse was running about under the table at the end of the room. She uttered an ex- clamation of alarm, and in an instant so entirely lost the power of audible speech that I was obliged to approach her and to put my ear close, to hear her.
